Incident Investigation and RCA Training course combines incident investigation and RCA and provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of conducting thorough investigations and applying RCA techniques to identify root causes. These programs often cover incident reporting, evidence collection, interview techniques, and reporting findings.

Incident investigation and root cause analysis (RCA) training covers the integration of RCA and incident investigation to improve safety and prevent problems from recurring. Incident investigation is the process of gathering information about an incident, identifying the causes, and making recommendations for corrective actions. RCA is a more in-depth process that uses a systematic approach to identify the root causes of problems.

Incident Investigation and RCA training course is designed for engineers, managers, technicians, and other professionals responsible for identifying and preventing incidents
